Florida Gators fans who own the football team&#x92;s 2014 wall calendar received a surprise Tuesday when they turned the page from June to July. That&#x92;s because Aaron Hernandez is Mr. July. So how does an alleged murderer end up gracing the month of July in a football calendar? First of all, the Gators say they weren&#x92;t in charge of the calendar&#x92;s distribution, as it&#x92;s a licensed product from Turner Licensing. They also say the approval process for the calendar was during the spring of 2013 &#x97; a few months prior to Hernandez&#x92;s June arrest for the alleged murder of Odin...Fox Sportshttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3175375/posts#commentThu, 3 Jul 2014 03:30:20 GMTWhy Copts celebrate Christmas on 7 Januaryhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3109097/posts
On Tuesday 7 January, Coptic Orthodox Christians &#x96; who comprise 90 percent of Egypt&#x27;s Christians &#x96; will break their 43-day fast and celebrate Christmas. The festival comes almost two weeks after most Western denominations, including Catholics and Protestants, held their celebrations on 25 December. Ahram Online asked Bishop Abram of the Fayoum Diocese to explain why there was a difference in the dates; he stressed that the difference in fact results from the use of different calendars, not from any underlying theological dispute.

The world&#x27;s oldest calendar has been discovered in a field in Scotland, a group of British archeologists believe. The twelve excavated pits in an Aberdeen field seem to mimic phases of the moon to track months over a year. &#x22;The evidence suggests that hunter-gatherer societies in Scotland had both the need and sophistication to track time across the years, to correct for seasonal drift of the lunar year and that this occurred nearly 5,000 years before the first formal calendars known in the Near East,&#x22; [the project leader Vince] Gaffney told various media.CBS Newshttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3066149/posts#commentThu, 12 Sep 2013 23:11:00 GMTAfter 63 years, U.S. Postal Service delivers calendarhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2974083/posts

Of course, most people are not panicking, and Maya expert David Stuart says no one should. The calendar, he says, has plenty of room to go.

For you Early Birds who simply MUST get a jump on everyone else, TODAY is your day (assuming you believe in Mayan prophecies, of course). And why not? As you can see, the eleventh-century Mayan Seer and Prophesizer Nostradam-itzalcoatl clearly predicted in this crucial passage of his autobiography (below), that sales of semi-automatic pistols would skyrocket in the last few days. (You do speak Mayanoglyph, don&#x27;t you?) What more proof do you need than that?

Geologists say Jesus, as described in the New Testament, was most likely crucified on Friday, April 3, in the year 33. The latest investigation, reported in International Geology Review, focused on earthquake activity at the Dead Sea, located 13 miles from Jerusalem. The Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 27, mentions that an earthquake coincided with the crucifixion: &#x93;And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
